Dealing with your emotions after a traumatic event can be difficult. Although the event has ended, the memories may last for months or years to come. Similar events, sights, smells and sounds may trigger a traumatic memory. The traumatic experience still exists in our brain and contains the emotional and conscious memory traces of the event. Our brains are unable to release this message of threat that it is receiving and shows up as symptoms of fear and anxiety. Often times our reactions to these events can produce fear and anxiety in our responses to it.
Energy-based therapies, such as Healing Touch use techniques that address all levels of the individual: mental, emotional, spiritual as well as physical. Emotions from traumatic events may be released with energy-based therapies. The brain that stores these memories is the emotional or limbic brain.
What happens in our bodies and our brain when we perceive a threatening situation or we have been through a traumatic situation? Our bodies go through a process after a traumatic event or a series of chronic stress.
Feelings of anger, rage, fear, avoidance and defensiveness are involved in the limbic brain or our emotional brain. The amygdala is part of the limbic or emotional brain. The amygdala inspires the freeze reaction, sweaty palms, and muscles to tense, protective postures or facial expressions. This area of the brain sends adrenaline and other hormones into the blood stream.
Trauma can be experienced from one event of a series of events, abuse, fear produced by a critical and unsupportive parent can be traumatic. These traumatic events are stored in our unconscious survival memory centers.
Most people that have gone through a traumatic situation do not want to keep re-living it. Something may trigger the release of the stored emotions from the event and the person reacts without knowing why. Energy-based therapies such as Healing Touch offer a healing sequence for releasing stuck fear patterns and bring a sense of calm to the individual. For most people, talking about a trauma, having to re-live the event and continually bring up emotions can be traumatic in itself.
Energy-based techniques, such as Healing Touch are done in a specific sequence and can help persons with post-traumatic stress syndrome, chronic patterns of fear, panic and anxiety. This causes a shift in their energetic field allowing the fear-based energetic patterns to shift to a new response of calm and compassion. This feeling of calm helps to produce the relaxation response, thus allowing our bodies to heal.
This technique is great for anyone that has gone through any sort of traumatic situation, surgery or accident. This was developed as a technique to be used for the “Ready for the Return” of soldiers coming back from war and also for their family and friends. It has also been used with victims of hurricane disasters with great results.
This particular Healing Touch sequence can provide long lasting effects for people with PTSD, panic attacks, chronic anxiety and obsessive thinking. Each time that this technique is used, it has a cumulative effect as energetic changes last from one session to another.
